Although the walk took longer than it would otherwise due to Merlin having to slow his pace for the envoy, they arrived at Macedonia unharmed in roughly half an hour. They traversed into the bustling streets of Macedonia on their way to the oracle's compound. The gate swung open before Merlin and the envoy even made it to the gate, and the handsome butler stepped out of the compound to greet them.
"Well, you're home now." Merlin said to the envoy who was still being silent.
The envoy waddled towards the butler and was quickly ordered to get inside. The envoy complied without turning back, and moments later he had vanished into the compound.
"The oracle thanks you." The butler turned back to Merlin, he pulled a gold coin out of his pocket and held it out for Merlin to take. He continued speaking after Merlin grabbed hold of the coin. "The oracle said she's looking forward to next time, and she hopes to see you again soon."
